Can you perhaps upload the picture to dropbox or google drive? Reddit tends to compress pictures

The cracked emulsion on this image means a lot of meticulous work to clean up, and some of it really requires an artist's touch (Something I am lacking!) Here is the work I was able to do. You may decide that it is enough...

Thank you!

dear god man, what happened to that picture?
I'm never shy of a challenge but there are limits, and this is way beyond mine..
Some parts I can't even see what's what, I have no idea what I'm restoring and what it has to look like, that's how bad the picture is..
but anyway, I cleaned it up a bit. Maybe someone else can take a shot at this cleaned-up version to restore it further. It should at least be an improvement on your original picture.

Looks like it was in a wallet for a long time or sustained damage from water/fire/sun.
Yeah it was kind of a rhetorical question. I was not expecting an answer.
But thanks anyway. It looks more like one of these guys had it in his pocket while running through the trenches on a rainy month.
